Digital PR: What You’re Missing Out On & How to Fix It

Digital PR

PR is a communication strategy that builds a brand’s positive reputation with the public. Traditional PR involves building relationships with journalists and various media outlets to receive brand exposure. This tactic translates to digital PR, but the digital landscape also affords brands other ways to build their public presence outside of such relationships.

Digital PR encompasses SEO-related activities like link-building, which itself involves a number of different tactics. However, there’s more to the strategy than that. A common term in content marketing is “storytelling,” and this concept can be applied to digital PR as well.

Video Content

People love Internet videos – it’s gotten to the point where a full 85% of people in the United States watch videos online at least a few times during the average week.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Developing Content That Works

content marketing

It’s great you’ve decided to engage in content marketing.

The content you create is key to your audience’s hearts and purses. Some realize it. Others suffer. 60% of b2b marketers create at least one piece of content every day. 

According to Aberdeen, YOY growth in traffic for content marketing leaders is almost 800% higher compared to followers. 

That’s the reason why it’s so important to have a rock-solid content strategy. 

However, it can be tedious and overwhelming. There are so many things to figure out ranging from what kind of content to write, its frequency, to decide on setting up a new blog or hosting the content on a channel like Medium. 

What if I gave you the step by step method to get the content wheels turning?

But prior to starting, keep in mind that content is powerful. The kind of content you write holds the ability to draw specific types of people. If your content isn’t aligned with the service or product you offer, conversions would be dismal. 

The right content marketing strategy takes the guesswork out of content. It details out steps to research and creates engaging content that’s valuable to your audience.

Primarily it should aim at solving problems. The first thing that comes to mind when you think about content is a bunch of words. However,  it can be textual, audio or video content. Such content is very effective at generating leads day in and out.

5 Easy Fixes That Will Boost Engagement on Your Social Marketing Videos

Social Marketing Videos

When it comes to video marketing and social media, one of the most common complaints I see brought up – by content creators and businesses alike – is the issue of underperforming content.

In many instances, it has more to do with unrealistic expectations than anything else. Like people expecting 10.000 followers after putting out consistent video content for only two months.

But more often than not, it’s due one or two critical failures in their production process that ends up working against them and undoing the hard work they’ve put into creating said quality videos in the first place.

For example, you can make an excellent animated explainer video, but if it’s based around an utterly unappealing subject to your audience, nobody will click on it. Or you can be funny, and charming in your Instagram live videos, but if you fail to promote them, it’s unlikely that people will show up.

Being aware of these issues and their respective fixes are the initial step in growing any social video marketing strategy that has already figured out the bulk of the production process and is only in need of refining a few of the kinks that come from not readily evident sources.

To help you with that, I wanted to share with you five easy fixes that will undoubtedly help boost engagement on any social marketing videos you are putting out.
